Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are encouraged to attend, and to help advance the state of the art. We are interested in work that has been incorporated into real production systems, and in theoretical work that promises to bring practical, tangible benefit. ICFEM 2010 will be organized by Software Engineering Institute, East China Normal University. Any inquiries can be sent to icfem2010@sei.ecnu.edu.cn. AREA AND TOPICS Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged, but any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their support environments will also be considered: Formal model-based development and code generation Abstraction and refinement Formal specification and modelling Software verification Formal approaches to software testing Software model checking Formal methods for object and component systems Analysis and models for concurrency Formal methods for cloud computing Tool development and integration Software safety, security and reliability Experiments involving verified systems Applications of formal methods SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers should be written in English and not exceed 16 pages in LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Submission should be done through the ICFEM 2010 submission page (http://www.sei.ecnu.edu.cn/icfem2010/), handled by the EasyChair conference system.
